- a. stress accumulation, namely
- i. large inherent stresses of the gas duct as a result of the welding, and
- ii. high thermal stresses;
- b. severe vibrations in combination with low natural frequencies of the gas duct;
- a. stress accumulation, namely
- 2. poor scope for maintenance and repair.

US 4,920,742 for gas turbines is a support structure for supporting a segmented flow-path lining, which comprises a support bracket which is connected to a frame section and has a support device which is connected to the flow-path lining, wherein the support bracket is provided with a clearance hole in order to ensure a freely floating connection for free acceptance of axial and circumferentially occurring thermal expansion and contraction of the flow-path lining. The segmentation, however, is limited to the concentric regions of the flow-path lining and does not extend to the support struts and is comparatively coarse so that thermal stresses still constitute a problem and the scope for maintenance and repair is limited. DocumentUS 4 369 016 discloses a gas duct of the state of the art according to the preamble of claim 1. -
- It is therefore an object of the invention to create a gas duct of the type referred to in the introduction, which avoids the disadvantages of known solutions and is distinguished by a greatly improved accessibility with maximum avoidance of thermal stresses at the same time.
- This and other objects are achieved by the sum total of the features of claim 1. The invention is based on a gas duct for a gas turbine, which gas duct is formed by a concentric inner casing and an outer casing which concentrically encompasses the inner casing at a distance, and through which the exhaust gases from the gas turbine discharge to the outside, wherein the inner casing and the outer casing are interconnected by means of a multiplicity of radial support struts, and wherein the support struts, the outer casing and the inner casing are equipped in each case with a heat-resistant lining for protection against the hot exhaust gases.
- The invention is also based on the fact that the linings of the support struts of the outer casing and of the inner casing are divided in each case into a plurality of separate segments which are fastened on a support structure in such a way that an individual entirely stress-free, or almost stress-free, thermal expansion of the individual segments in an expansion plane is possible.
- One embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the segments are detachably fastened on the support structure.
- In the present invention the segments are fixed relative to the support structure at at least one fastening point and are fastened in a freely thermally expandable manner in the expansion plane at other fastening points.

- The mountings preferably have a multiplicity of threaded holes, and the segments are fixed on the mountings by means of screws which are screwed into the threaded holes from the outside through corresponding holes in the segments.
- It is also conceivable, however, that the mountings have a multiplicity of stud bolts which extend through corresponding holes in the segments, and that the segments are fastened on the stud bolts by means of corresponding clamping nuts. This type of fastening has advantages especially in more demanding regions of application (higher temperatures etc.).
- The mountings especially extend in this case parallel to each other in the axial direction.
- In the present invention the mountings are fastened on a concentric shell by means of radial supports.
- A further embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the mountings are circumferentially spaced apart by such a distance that a segment is fastened in each case on two adjacent mountings and extends circumferentially between two adjacent mountings.

- Fig. 8
- shows a fastening of the segments on the support structure from
Fig. 7 by means of stud bolts and clamping nuts according to another exemplary embodiment of the invention. - According to the present invention, the exhaust-side gas duct of a gas turbine is to be divided into a multiplicity of independent segments. These segments are fastened on a mounting structure. The gas duct is generally to be segmented in three regions. These three regions are the
outer casing 18, theinner casing 19 and the support struts 20. The individual segments comprise correspondingly formed metal sheets which (via the mounting structure) are fastened on a support structure, lying thereunder, of the gas duct. This fastening is designed so that the completely stress-free, or almost stress-free, thermal expansion of the individual metal sheets is ensured in all operating states. - The mounting structure for the segments or metal sheets themselves is fastened on an inner or outer shell of the support structure. This fastening is also designed so that an entirely stress-free, or almost stress-free, thermal expansion in an expansion plane is possible. The number of connecting points to the support structure results from its size and from the loads which occur.
- The segments are attached in a positionally fixed manner in relation to the support structure either at one (not necessarily central) point and from there can thermally expand in an entirely stress-free, or almost stress-free, manner in the expansion plane at the other fastening points, or they have the necessary clearance in the expansion plane at all the fastening points and can freely move within the constructionally necessary limits.

Fig. 3 shows in a perspective view a detail of agas duct 17 according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. To be seen are theouter casing 18, theinner casing 19 withcorresponding segments 19a and asupport strut 20 withcorresponding segments 20a.Fig. 4 shows this exemplary embodiment from another viewing angle so that in this case thesegments 18a of theouter casing 18 are also visible. - In
Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 , the mounting structure for thesegments 19a of theinner casing 19 can be seen (the mounting structure on the outer casing is correspondingly constructed). This mounting structure comprisesmountings 19b which are arranged in a distributed manner around the circumference, extend parallel to each other in the axial direction, and on their outer side are provided with threadedholes 24. By their one end themountings 19b bear against aring 19e which - as with theinner shell 19d - is part of the support structure of theinner casing 19. Instead of the ring,separate supports 19c can also be provided according toFig. 7 . On the other side, themountings 19b are supported on theinner shell 19d at a distance by means ofsupports 19c. - As is seen clearly in
Fig. 5 , thesegments 19a are detachably fastened on themountings 19b by means ofscrews 23 which are screwed into the threadedholes 24 in themountings 19b. Eachsegment 19a extends in this case betweenadjacent mountings 19b and is screwed to these mountings in each case. As a result of this type of construction, on the one hand easy accessibility to all parts of thegas duct 17 is ensured. On the other hand, as a result of the extensive segmenting of the lining of the duct thermal stresses are reduced or completely avoided. - It is also conceivable, however, and advantageous especially in the case of more demanding regions of application, if according to
Fig. 8 themountings 19b are provided with perpendicularly projectingstud bolts 25 which extend through corresponding holes in thesegments 19a. Thesegments 19a are then fastened on thestud bolts 25 by means of clamping nuts 26. -
